Turner used:
“Genuine Ultramarine (Lapis Lazuli), White Lead and a very toxic yellow, Orpiment, also known as Kings Yellow or chemically, arsenic sulphide.”
And I can’t even imagine all sorts of other toxic shit and asbestos.And he used to spit on the canvas too!

Let’s not forget that the current President of the USA’s NRA is none other than the Iran/Contra drug ‘n’ gun-runner (Lt) Oliver North

Hard News: These things we must now change, in reply to Bart Janssen,
One wonders if the police have the time to do the job properly.
